ICE has been given authority to raid schools and churches by Pres. Trump. @rweingarten.bsky.social, pres. of the American Federation for Teachers, says they're ready to protect students: “We have an obligation to our kids during the day, so we're not just giving a kid to somebody else.” #Velshi

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Weaponizing the DCA plane crash to push an “anti-woke” agenda is not just offensive – it’s reckless endangerment of the American public. There are many reasons why the accident may have occurred, & NONE of them include DEI. @profmmurray.bsky.social & @esglaude.bsky.social join me @ 11a ET on #Velshi

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Cars, electronics, denim, home goods, and processed foods are just a few of the items likely to increase in cost due to Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. So much for lowering prices. #Velshi

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

Why didn't the AG have him arrested for an insurrection against the government, the deaths of policemen, brutal assaults on police, attempted hanging of Mike Pence, forceful break & enter into the Capitol, etc, etc.????????? NO ONE, even the Prez, should be above the law. Impeach the Supreme Court!

Like all defendants, Eric Adams is presumed innocent. But it would be a bad look for DOJ to drop a major public corruption case after the NY mayor shows public support for Trump. Is everything a transaction? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/us/politics/justice-department-trump-charges-eric-adams…

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)
